Workshop NotesInternational Workshop ``What can FCA do for Artificial Intelligence?'' (FCA4AI 2015)

International audienceThis volume includes the proceedings of the fourth edition of the FCA4AI --What can FCA do for Artificial Intelligence?-- Workshop co-located with the IJCAI 2015 Conference in Buenos Aires (Argentina). Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a mathematically well-founded theory aimed at data analysis and classification. FCA allows one to build a concept lattice and a system of dependencies (implications) which can be used for many AI needs, e.g. knowledge discovery, learning, knowledge representation, reasoning, ontology engineering, as well as information retrieval and text processing. There are many ``natural links'' between FCA and AI, and the present workshop is organized for discussing about these links and more generally for improving the links between knowledge discovery based on FCA and knowledge management in artificial intelligence

Transforming Research Methods in the Social Sciences

Social science researchers in the global South, and in South Africa particularly, utilise research methods in innovative ways in order to respond to contexts characterised by diversity, racial and political tensions, socioeconomic disparities and gender inequalities. These methods often remain undocumented – a gap that this book starts to address. Written by experts from various methodological fields, Transforming Research Methods in the Social Sciences is a comprehensive collation of original essays and cutting-edge research that demonstrates the variety of novel techniques and research methods available to researchers responding to these context-bound issues. It is particularly relevant for study and research in the fields of applied psychology, sociology, ethnography, biography and anthropology. In addition to their unique combination of conceptual and application issues, the chapters also include discussions on ethical considerations relevant to the method in similar global South contexts. Transforming Research Methods in the Social Sciences has much to offer to researchers, professionals and others involved in social science research both locally and internationally

SPS6: Digital legacy and future care planning - Stories from a Cancer Hospital

The use of internet enabled devices by patients at the hospital;/hospice bedside appears to be increasing. Digital connections are everywhere, and can bring new opportunities when we are seriously ill. But what makes a good digital death? And how can digital media bring meaning during serious life-limiting illness? In this talk, Dr Mark Taubert will outline his experience with patients, carers, researchers and fellow healthcare professionals working in palliative care, and how since 2013 he has tried to make good use of new media. The taboo around death and dying is seemingly starting to crumble on Youtube, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter with many more opportunities for us in palliative care to influence debate. How celebrities die, for instance, is increasingly commented on, but Mark will also tell stories from the wards and clinics, where people have asked him questions about what they should do with digital content when faced with the end of their lives. Mark is a palliative care doctor at Velindre NHS Trust cancer hospital in Cardiff (UK) and a senior lecturer at Cardiff University. He is national strategic lead for advance and future care planning in Wales and holds roles with the Bevan Commission, Byw Nawr and the End of Life Care board in Wales. Mark is a regular speaker and editor in areas relating to palliative care, digital media, resuscitation and end of life care. He also contributed to a BBC Radio 4 programme in the UK called “My Digital Legacy” in 2017 with the presenter Joan Bakewell. Mark will illustrate a story of a patient he worked with who created digital legacy content in the form of videos and messages, to be viewed at significant future dates in his family’s life. The journey to achieve this was in many ways harder than achieving good symptom control and took a significant emotional toll, but was what the patient truly wanted. The story was reported on by BBC World in 2019, as part of a report about digital legac
